Stranded in the spooky townStop lights are swaying and the phone lines are downThe floor is crackling coldShe took my heart; I think she took my soulWith the moon I runFar from the carnage of the fiery sun Driven by the strangle of veinShowing no mercy, I'd do it againOpen up your eyeYou keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dryThe skies, they blink at meI see a storm bubbling up from the sea And it's coming closer And it's coming closer You shimmy shook my boneLeaving me stranded, all in love on my ownDo you think of me?Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?Feels so good, but I'm oldTwo thousand years of chasing, taking its toll And it's coming closer And it's coming closer And it's coming closer And it's coming closer

What a night for a dance, you know I’m a dancing machineWith a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of keroseneI get lost in the light, so high I don’t want to come downTo face the loss of the good thing that I had found Woo hoo hoo Woo hoo hoo In the dark of the night, I can hear you calling my nameWith the harvest of hearts I still feel full of painSo I drink and I smoke, and I ask you if you’re ever aroundEven though it was me who drove us right in the ground See, the time we shared, it was precious to meBut all the while, I was dreaming of revelry Born to run, baby, run like a stream down a mountainsideWith the wind at my back, I don’t ever even bat an eyeJust know it was you all along who had a hold of my heartBut the demon and me were the best of friends from the start So the time we shared it was precious to me All the while I was dreaming of revelry Dreaming of revelry And I told myself, “Boy, away you go”It rained so hard it felt like snowEverything came tumbling down on meIn the back of the woods, in the dark of the nightThe paleness of the old moonlightEverything just felt so incomplete Dreaming of revelry Dreaming of revelry Dreaming of revelry Dreaming of revelry
